Every song has a story. Through live performances and candid interviews with singer-songwriters from different genres, BYUradio’s Jam Chats explores the many ways music can energize us, heal us, and bring us together.

SHOW host
Clarke Jackman
Clarke Jackman (CJ) grew up with music in his blood. Raised in Orem, Utah, where his family launched Jackman Music Corporation, Clarke found his rhythm early—on the bass. Over the years, he’s rocked stages with Utah bands like Deep Ocean and Jerrytown, while also shaping sound behind the scenes as an award-winning audio engineer. With more than 25 years in music and post-production, Clarke brings both passion and expertise to the mic as co-host of Jam Chats, the BYUradio podcast where artists share their stories and their songs. When he’s not mixing sound or spinning tracks, you’ll find him at home in Orem with his wife and five kids—probably with a bass guitar not too far out of reach.
